The Marshall-Brennan Constitutional Literacy Fellowship Program

The Marshall-Brennan Constitutional Literacy Fellowship Program enlists law students in an effort to increase civic literacy and participation in American democracy.  Talented second- and third-year law students on the Camden campus prepare and teach a course in constitutional law to high school students.  The aim is to make the Constitution “come alive” for young people while simultaneously improving law students’ ability to translate and explain complicated legal concepts into lay terms. Fellows are chosen through a competitive process during the spring semester of each year. Applicants are chosen based on their academic preparation, motivation, maturity, commitment to the power of education and the urgency of greater access to it, and intellectual curiosity about constitutional issues. Interested students should attend the informational session(s) held during the spring semester.

The Kinoy-Stavis Fellowship Program

The Kinoy-Stavis Fellows are guaranteed a position in either the International Rights or the  Constitutional Rights Clinic during both semesters of their second year.     During their third year,   Kinoy-Stavis Fellows are guaranteed access to one of the law school’s in-house clinics.
